People rave about Bobby Robson but I never felt the love.

The only manager that ever allowed the flair to come out was Venables.

Until we have a manager who tells the players to go out and express themselves and play off the cuff and that he’ll shoulder the blame if things go wrong then we are stuck with this.

Even listening to Southgate is a trial, the man bores the f u c k out of me.
Couldn’t agree more and loved Terry! Bomber hit the nail on the head when he compared Southgate’s style to Corberon’s which is dull and boring. You could have the best players in the world ( Southgate has ) but if managers like Southgate and our Carlos are set tactically in their ways you’re never going to be on the edge of your seat. Don’t get me wrong Carlos has done a great job with some poor players but the point is the football would never be orgasmic!
